Toro 1800 vs GreenWorks 26032: Does weight matter?
14916
I've owned a Toro 1800 for 8 years, and just bought a Greenworks 26032. I just tried it out. I was a big fan of the Toro, but I think the GreenWorks is better built, and given that it's cheaper and has a longer warranty, I think it's a no-brainer. The only reason I'd consider the Toro if I were buying another now is its lighter weight--it's pretty amazing what it can do for its small size and weight. But that's only an issue for smaller people who might have trouble handling the 37 lb Greenworks, and would have an easier time with the 24 lb Toro.

Look at the shape and the color of your current piece. If it is identical then it will work. Even if the shape is different it may still work but you may have to adjust the height. So note down the slot it currently uses. The blue color is needed by TORO with GMAX system. TORO uses Korky 528T and just changes the name to TORO and then sells it at a high mark-up. Korky 528 is identical in shape but it is white in color and is internally different. It is cheaper and available at Home Depot. For my Kohler I use 528 and for TORO I use 528T. It is an outstanding product.

Not sure about weight, though definitely heavier if you're pushing up hill. I can mow an area approximately 70x80 feet before I lose all my green lights, depending on how tall the grass is (resistance). It's a great work out, I can tell you that!

I own the Toro 51609 and it does a fantastic job of vacuuming up piles of leaves. The metal impeller is much sturdier and will last years longer than a plastic impeller. You will suck up pebbles and twigs with your device and they will destroy the plastic impeller. These are issues that you will have to deal with eventually and I want people to be well informed before they make a purchase.

That is relative my friend. It is a big machine and the wheels are quality. I 6'2" and 260 lbs. I can move it around but got tired of that and built a nice generator box right by my house. I created an outdoor plugin to run it to my transfer switch ($300 with self install). Works great. But is is big. Sux trying to move it in the snow. buy a few 2x4s, 4x4s, and plywood to remedy that problem (another $500 if you are handy). hope that helps. It is a great generator and runs my whole house (Small)

I am currently using the TR1200DT model. I am over 350 and it works just fine. That said, they do have a heavier duty model, the TR5000DT, but it's almost $1000 more than the 1200.

I have a steep hill in my yard. My previous electric mower weighed 90 pounds, so this is a huge improvement (at around 30 pounds). I find it very easy to handle on my hill, but know that it is NOT self-propelled.

I'm sorry I can't help with that. I returned my Toro 3 weeks after buying it. There was a safety hazard, in my opinion. The grass bag kept falling off while I was mowing and I would slam my shins into it.

Don't know, but you might find this useful in deciding. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5iP4tVrqyE this video is what sold me on the unit. BTW, avoid the blower from greenworks. It sucks compared to my electric. Good luck.

I too was debating over the 500lb or 750lb model for my Husqvarna, so I called MoJack and was told to figure 1/3rd of the total weight as these jacks are designed to lift only the front wheels, not the complete mowing unit. I was able to go with the 500lb unit as my mower is just under 900lbs total. And this jack works like a charm. Great investment.

I have both, and I use them on a chainsaw and a cultivator. The 2AH can go up to 20 minutes of hard continuous use on either machine, and, obviously, the 4AH can double that time. But it's almost double the weight, too, so if you're going to do a lot of overhead limbing with the chainsaw, the lighter battery is the better choice. I am glad I have both.

I bought a 100 foot cord and the tiller works well for me. I like this machine as it is comparatively light and I have quite small vegetable beds.

I've never used the 25021 so I can't compare, but I'm really happy with the 25022. It has enough power to cut through some pretty rough growth, and obviously it will mow your lawn faster since the cutting diameter is wider. I've been really pleased with the cut--my lawn looks as manicured as a golf course when I'm finished.

No problem I use mine to load my toro lawn mower 625 lbs plus me 170 lbs onto my truck.

I have only used a toro product, so you would need to contact Ryobi supplier to find out this answer

Yes, no contest. I have them both... Toro performs unbelievably given it's size and the fact it's electric. The Snow Joe keeps breaking on me, and is a total hunk of crap.
